1Description

Give dark locations a little more light with the Lumix DMW-FL200L External Flash from Panasonic. Optimized for their Micro Four Thirds series of mirrorless cameras, this compact flash is fully compatible with Panasonic's TTL system and offers coverage for 12mm lenses. The flash features a respectable guide number of 66' at ISO 100 considering its size and has a wide-angle panel that will expand coverage to ultra-wide 7mm optics. Bounce capabilities from 0-90° are available and an LED light can illuminate your videos with a manually controlled output of up to 200 lux at 3.3'.

A key feature of the DMW-FL200L is its wireless functionality. It can be used as either a slave or master unit with remote TTL support. The flash also runs on two easy to find AA batteries and will recycle in just 3-4 seconds after a full power flash.

Equivalent coverage on 35mm format is 24-100mm, and 14mm with the wide-angle panel

Approximately 120 flashes with alkaline batteries and 200 with NiMH batteries

Tiny but very accurate!When this flash showed up I was like what? I paid this much for this tiny little flash? I told a friend I would shoot her baby shower including lots of family breakdowns and a group of everyone there. I was totally blown away at how accurate this flash is on TTL with the LUMIX GH5. This was an outdoors with a large area covered so there were huge changes in exposure depending on what direction you were. The shots were perfectly exposed. The flash/GH5 combo knew when to just fill in the shows and not overpower what was happening in the background. My friend was blown away by the pictures. I'd have to say this flash is proof that great things can come in very small packages! I highly recommend it!

Horrible.I bought is to go with a Panasonic GX8 and use it off camera. I bought aPanasonic DMW-FL70-S to trigger it. According to Panasonic's site this is compatible and should work. First of all, on camera it did not slide in all the way and it was not obvious that it was not in all the way. Why does Panasonic use plastic hotshoes? Who does that? Cheap flashes has metal hotshoes. Off camera it does not trigger unless everything is perfectly aligned. I bought another Panasonic flash and it works better. In any case Nikon CLS works way better. Too bad Nikon does not make a mirrorless that has CLS.

Good EquipmentWhat is possible to tell about an external flash? Very easy to install and to use it. I have had good results with wide photo. (Special thanks to B&H staff who help a french guy who was not very fluent in english to choose this equipment).

Will always take this with me just in case events.Never use a flash. I have flashes for my Nikon but it weight me down. Use this flash for evening shots. Glad to have brought it with me. Very light and easy to use.

Compact for travelBought this flash to go with my Panasonic G8. It gives my the option to have a flash since there isn't a built in one with the camera. I like the compact size.

Great little flashThis little flash does come in handy when I've needed it. I've only used it on TTL setting and it's performed nicely. Glad it's in my bag.
